Description
Technical Field

[0002] An air preheater is a device used to heat the air entering the combustion chamber. Its main function is to improve combustion efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and reduce the content of emissions. Air preheaters are usually installed in boilers or burner systems. By heating the cooled air through the preheater and then sending it into the combustion chamber, the amount of fuel used can be reduced and the combustion efficiency can be improved. Air preheaters can adopt different working principles and materials, such as plate heat exchangers, spiral heat exchangers, etc. By using air preheaters, energy can be effectively saved, operating costs can be reduced, and it is also beneficial to environmental protection. At present, the air leakage of rotary air preheaters mainly exists in the radial direction of the hot end. After the preheater is heated, the rotor will produce mushroom-shaped thermal deformation. On the radial outside of the hot end, a large gap will be generated between the deformed rotor and the hot end fan plate, causing the air preheater to have an increased air leakage rate. The traditional technology is to install the sealing sheet on the rotor partition. When the partition is thermally deformed, the sealing sheet will also deform together, so the gap here cannot be controlled.
